This particular meaning is related to the symbol of religious blasphemy as a narrative. This research uses normative legal research with the type of library research. Data collection techniques using primary legal materials in the form of books and related journal articles. The data analysis method used is content analysis (content analysis). The results of the research state that taqlid is doing good deeds by following other people's words or opinions which have no proof value and not knowing the causes or arguments and proofs of the opinions one follows.
